Immunisations for students 


Infectious diseases can spread easily in college and university communities. More face-to-face contact means you’re at higher risk of catching and passing on infectious diseases. It’s really important for all students to ensure they’re up-to-date with their vaccines before starting college or university and further information about this can be found here.


For students under 25 years that have missed any vaccinations you can call the Vaccination Enquiries Line on 0300 790 6296
